Thoughtfactory: abstractions

developing the tradition of photographic abstraction

canvas abstraction

This abstraction was made whilst on an early morning   poodlewalk with Kayla around the  township of Victor Harbor: 

It was near  one of the hotels the edge of Warland Reserve. It was a rubbish bag for a big beer barn that sells junk hotel food.  

granite + salt abstraction

This picture was made with the newly acquired  Sony A7r111 digital camera  whilst I was on a poodlewalk to the foot of the Newland Heads in Waitpinga:

These little salt ponds are very ephemeral. They are there one day, gone the next. 

bark abstraction

This abstraction of the bark of a eucalyptus tree was made whilst we were on the way to the beach at Encounter Bay in Victor Harbor:  

The bark is in the reserve opposite Encounter Studio. We have planted most of the trees in the reserve over the years.  

granite abstract #2

I  scoped this just before the stormy weather from the south west swept in: 

I tried to get back to the site  for most of the week,  but the high tide,  and the large wave surges prevented access. It was too dangerous.  I finally managed to reshoot it with a  medium format camera this morning.

Maybe a 5x4 reshoot in black and white next?

granite abstract--Rosetta Head

This was made on one of the last poodle walks with Ari along Jetty Rd,  which runs along the side of Rosetta Head to a jetty at the northern foot of Rosetta Head.

It was raining at the time  and I have been meaning to returning to reshoot it with my film cameras. But there has been no rain since.  

Granite abstraction

I continue to plug away on the coastal abstractions whilst I am on my morning and evening poodle walks.   

Plug away because I am not sure what I am going to do with this body of work.

quartz abstraction

A quartz   abstraction made whilst on a poodlewalk  along the coastal rocks west of Rosetta Head:

The location is a set of on the western edge of Dep's Beach.
